Australia's largest listed grain trader, GrainCorp Ltd., announced on Thursday it has junked the A$2.7 billion ($2.8 billion) takeover approach by U.S.-based Archer Daniel Midlands Co. (ADM), saying the cash offer of $11.75 per share "materially undervalues" the company.
The grains trader, however, said it is still open to future takeover approaches of its U.S. suitor as long as they include the best interests of GrainCorp shareholders, said Alison Watkins, chief executive officer of the Sydney-based company.
"GrainCorp's response to ADM's offer indicates the door is not closed on negotiations," Singapore-based sales trader Tom Leske told Bloomberg News. "There is still a decent probability of a bump to reach an agreed deal."
ADM's "represented a significant premium to the prevailing GrainCorp share price at the time of our approach. We believe it remains an attractive proposal," the US grains company said in a statement.
Incidentally, the Australian agribusiness announced on the same day that earnings for the 12 months to September 30 jumped 19.4 per cent to $204.9 million over a year ago.
"GrainCorp has solid and sustainable growth across all business units and a track record of delivering on our strategy," Ms Watkins said. "Our business is ideally positioned to benefit from the growth in global demand for grain . . . with global trade in our core grains expected to double by 2050."
It likewise announced a fully franked final dividend of 20 cents per share as well as a special dividend of 15 cents per share, registering total dividends for the full year at 65 cents per share.
Moreover, all of its business units, including storage, marketing, malt and mills, all likewise gave off a strong performance in the year to September, Graincorp said.
On the other hand, Graincorp said it will spend $250 million to attain a target $110 million in annual earnings growth by end of fiscal 2016.
It will allocate more funds to boost strategic projects in its storage and logistics operations. It will also combine its oil crushing and refining operations to strengthen its oils business unit.

Natural History
Most scientists recognize six species of slider turtles, but red-eared sliders are the most popular. They are distinguished by a thin, red stripe behind each eye and a large black spot on each section of their underbelly. They are found in most of Alabama, west to Texas and New Mexico, and north up into the Mississippi River basin.
Male red-eared sliders generally do not grow quite as large as females, but both sexes grow to a maximum of approximately 11 inches. They are mostly herbivorous, feeding on a wide variety of plant life.

Thinking about doing a Universal Studios/Sea World trip in January. I have some questions about Sea World. How much of the park is Roller coasters? I know Universal has a good amount of them and I'm not a big Roller coaster fan (except for the Mummy must be the dark ride feel). How crowded is Sea World on a MLK Day weekend? Is it busier than other times in January or closer to July? Ready to do a non-Disney Trip, but want to get good value out of the parks I choose.
Sea World has two great coasters, Kracken and Manta - thoroughly enjoyed them both! Not sure about MLK weekend though
If you're not into roller-coasters, there's still A LOT to do at Sea World. There's a ton of great shows (Blue Horizons, One Ocean, A'Lure, Clyde and Seamore and Pets Ahoy), animal feedings (we loved the dolphin feeding), and aquariums to walk through. There's also non-rollercoaster rides - Turtle Trek and Wild Arctic. We really love Sea World, with or without going on roller-coasters. We got to see trainers interacting with the beluga whales last time, which was awesome. I think you'll have a great time!
January is a super slow month. Even on MLK weekend. Seaworld will always be less crowded than Universal/IOA or Disney.
One of the reasons our family loves SeaWorld so much is that there is something for everyone at that park. I am not a coaster lover (or a ride lover in general) so often feel like my boys get more out of a theme park than I do. But at SW, we *all* get attractions we love and have equally as good a time. The shows are fantastic and its well worth seeing them all. The exhibits are excellently done, the park itself is beautiful, you can feed all the different sea animals, the coasters are top-notch (DH and DS have declared Manta to be their favourite coaster ever, and we have been to alot of theme parks!!) , and the food at the park is great. I think you will love it!
The information is great....do you happen to know how old you must be to feed the dolphins? My five year old would get a kick out of it! C

SilverStone DS322 Dual-Bay RAID Enclosure Review
In my short time on this place we call Earth, I can't count the number of times I've told people to back up their data. Most recently, working on a family member's PC, I found myself trying to recover data from a spinner that was suffering from the dreadful "click of death" syndrome. After many trips back and forth from the freezer to my PC, I was able to recover the data, but none of this would have been necessary if they had taken the time to back up their important data. To combat the loss of data, the rather simple solution is to pick up an external storage solution such as a NAS or DAS. Most often these devices include RAID capabilities and can be found at reasonable prices, making these devices perfect for the typical user. The DS322 is a user-friendly dual-bay RAID enclosure that can support RAID volumes in excess of 2.2TB. These RAID modes include 0, 1 and No-RAID. Being built primarily out of aluminium, the DS322 has been fitted with a 40mm cooling fan to exhaust excess heat during operation. Compatibility of the DS322 extends to Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and Mac OS X. The DS322 arrived in a black box with an image of the enclosure to the right. The model number and USB compatibility are listed in bold font, while a list of features can be found along the bottom. Removing everything from the box, we found SilverStone included a power adapter along with the USB 3.0 cable, user manual in several languages and of course the enclosure itself. Looking at the front of the DS322, we find several LED indicators running down the center of the enclosure. These indicators include power, disk activity and RAID mode. The back of the enclosure is rather simple. Up top we find the 40mm cooling fan and reset button. At the bottom we have the Superspeed USB 3.0 connection and power adapter and switch. Under the front bezel there is a locking mechanism that secures the enclosure while in use. Unlocking the enclosure and removing the front panel we find a set of DIP switches that are used to configure RAID modes. You will find a sticker on the inside of the front panel that dictates switch positions for each RAID mode. Pulling the enclosure apart we found the controller in use is the PLX OXU3102, a dual port SATA II to USB 3.0 Bridge. It is also worth noting that this controller supports 4K Advanced Format HDD's. Benchmarking external enclosure consists of two pieces of software that you will find readily available on the internet. The first of which is ATTO Disk Benchmark, the industry standard when it comes to marketing performance. The second is DiskBench, a real-world file benchmark that uses the drives file system to read and write data. In this test we copy a 10GB directory consisting of audio, video, documents and pictures to the enclosure. Each enclosure is connected via USB 3.0 to our native ports on the Z77 chipset. The drives used in testing are a pair of Western Digital Red 1TB hard drives, and for testing the enclosures maximum speed, a pair of Corsair Neutron 256GB SSD's. | Employing a No-RAID setup, the SilverStone DS322 was able to maximize the performance of our Western Digital Red drives reaching 152MB/s read and 149MB/s write. As you will notice, our ATTO testing started at 4K thanks to the support from the enclosure of AF disk drives. RAID 0 was ever more impressive with the DS322 pushing numbers out in excess of 300MB/s. Setting up our drives in RAID 1, the results were within reach of the single drive results. The DS322 was able to throw out 145MB/s read and 140MB/s write. To see what this enclosure was truly capable of we tossed our Corsair Neutron SSD's in and had a go with RAID 0. Looking at our results you can why I'm simply amazed with the work SilverStone has put into this enclosure. We touched 404MB/s read and 438MB/s write! In our real-world testing we found the DS322 to be rather impressive. Transferring our 10GB directory we were able to reach speeds of 247MB/s in RAID 0, with RAID1 and No-RAID coming in around 130MB/s. This puts the DS322 at the top of our charts right next to the ICYRAID enclosure, which we recently reviewed. SilverStone is one of those companies that we put on a pedestal, their products are always bathed in quality and the DS322 is no different. From the sleek black aluminium exterior, to the performance built inside, this unit represents everything that is the SilverStone touch. The front mounted LED indicators are a nice feature and even further, they aren't so bright to where they have that blinding effect. Swapping drives in and out of the enclosure is rather simple with the tool-less design, and with the DIP RAID selection switch mounted up front, you don't have to fiddle around getting behind the enclosure to switch RAID modes. As I said previously, the DS322 is one of the highest performing enclosures I have seen, and as such, I have come away from this review quite impressed with what SilverStone has put together. In our testing we saw the DS322 reach speeds upwards of 450MB/s with our Neutron SSD's and even 300MB/s with our WD Red HDD's. One thing that is definitely worth mentioning is upon receiving this unit I had a number of issues trying to get it to format drives through USB 3.0. After contacting SilverStone, they directed me promptly to a firmware update located on their product page. This firmware update was rather simple to run through with the included documentation and I had my enclosure up and running perfectly within minutes. So, if you find yourself in this predicament, update the firmware. Pricing of the DS322 at the time of this writing is set at $79.99. This places the DS322 in perfect position against competitor's products that offer similar performance at a higher price. Simply put, if you're in the market for an external solution and want RAID capability, the DS322 is one to look at! |

Elevate Difference
Reviews by
Melissa Ablett
The Quotable Abigail Adams
In an age of constant and instant communications, we have to sadly admit that letters are becoming a lost art. Gone are the times when lovers exhausted themselves writing page after page to send slowly across the sea, replaced with 140 character tweets or an iPhone vibrating with a picture message.
Black Tagua Ring
As a society, we are constantly becoming more aware of how many beautiful materials we use in our attempts to make ourselves and our homes beautiful are incredibly harmful to the environment. After years of mining for silver, harvesting for mahogany, and slaughtering for ivory have taken their toll, we've started seeking out more viable fashion options.
Magic Neighbor
Lisa Germano's music is like finding an old photograph at a yard sale. Somehow, inexplicably, you're drawn in by a sad or troubled expression staring back in black and white. Soon, without knowing fully why, you feel a connection to the woman sitting in the photograph, hands in her lap, poised in an awkward position that seems unnatural, strange, perhaps even eerie. And you eventually see a story unfolding before you of a quiet childhood with a distant parent, an unrequited love, and precious moments of happiness glimmering in between.
Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers
Radical Chic, noun: a small clique of the New York upper elite who, in order to appear groundbreakingly fashionable, support social movements and causes which ironically are at odds with the morays inherent to their identity Mau-mau, verb: to stubbornly and meticulously badger someone into supporting a cause; to petition while using one's minority identity in such a way that a member of a majority is left without rebuttal Flak Catcher, noun: poorly paid and hardly respected public officials who are often used as human shields to protect their bosses from mau-mauing _(see definition
The Old Garden
A garden is a metaphor for revolution. When painstakingly cared for, dry and barren ground can eventually yield the most beautiful of things. A garden can change an unruly landscape to an ordered plot, produce food and purpose, and forever capture the energy of a gardener with loyalty, conviction, and a love of what it could become.
Birds of Paradise Earrings
Not ever being one to splurge on jewelry, I'm often times frustrated by the cheap and mass produced items I find myself buying off racks in department stores. I am no stranger to a green finger, a necklace that breaks as I'm putting it on for the very first time, or an earring that manages to fall off in transit, which always provides for a few strange glances once I arrive at work.
Been Here a Thousand Years
Been Here a Thousand Years, Mariolina Venezia's novel that sweeps across Italy's history from 1861 to 1989, with certain ideas and images already floating in the periphery: Berlusconi's wife explaining the reasons for their divorce, my own memories of whistles and blatant gazes from men during a visit to Florence, high fashion seemingly making women into glorified clothes hangers.

ETIOLOGI_PADA_PENDERITA_VAGINISMUS.pdf Download (82kB) | Preview |
Thesis explains about Etiology of Vaginismus Patient. The background of thesis develops from a cultural factor considering taboo for discussing a sexual issue and lower knowledge on sexual issue. This prevents people from recognizing their perceived sexual dysfunction. It causes interpersonal problem to the patient if the immediate environment doesn't accept and support them. These findings require a follow up action to improve public knowledge about sexual issue in gaining early comprehension. Research uses qualitative descriptive method with two subjects. To facilitate the understanding of research subject etiology requires a case study aimed to describe of the detail of problems perceived by research subject. Data will be analyzed and examined for its validation using triangulation technique. Results of research indicate that etiology of vaginismus patient includes: ineffective dynamic to maintain moral value and to deny pleasure driver; the anger against father because of affair causing excessive generalization, or negative perception against male because of the affair of partner causing disregard from the betrayed perception; ineffective problem solving because of act of repression and irrational belief that sex submits to a dirty sin and the affair partner pertains to the dirty person causing the feeling of disgust.

Current Research | Systems and cognitive neuroscience; sensorimotor integration; selection and control of eye movements in primates The generation of eye movements is an important function of the brain's control systems. My laboratory uses the eye movement system as a model for how the brain of primates, including man, controls a variety of movements. Our work focuses upon areas of the rhesus monkey's prefrontal cortex and midbrain that help to control eye movements. We use behavioral and neurophysiological techniques in awake, behaving monkeys to allow us to examine the processing of information taking place within these areas, and to enable us to understand the role these neural structures perform in the complex network of connections that make up the oculomotor system. Recent experiments from this laboratory have: Described neuronal activity in the cortical frontal eye field related to the selection of eye movement targets while monkeys look at natural images such as a face or visual landscape. Used microinjections of excitatory and inhibitory drugs to demonstrate the importance of frontal eye field activity for the generation of both visually-guided and memory-guided eye movements. Identified and characterized the population of frontal eye field neurons that project to the superior colliculus as well as characterizing the functional activity of collicular neurons that receive frontal eye field input. These studies provide basic knowledge about the processes our brain uses to select and control movements. They afford a unique opportunity to examine the interactions taking place within cortical and subcortical regions that integrate sensory and cognitive information to produce a quantifiable motor event. |

Bob McPhail 12:30 p.m., April 26
I am back with a thought...so, why is it that it that the government constantly makes excuses or talks around the subjects on the increase in suicides, domestic violence, and child abuse/neglet in the military? This is in no way to say that every member in the military field commits this crimes but come on what we need to do is fix the problem instead of hiding from it or sweeping it under the rug. I am a military wife and have been for almost seven years, as well as, a military brat since birth (Mother and father were in the military for 20 years each) ! When I hear shocking information about another death or child injured or wife/husband beaten it saddens me because I have seen and experienced some of these issues and have personally tried to go to the so called " offered services" to recieve help and it always seemed to make things worse verses fixing them. Why can't we make it mandatory to seek counsling/coping services for both the service member and families for a period of time (at least 3-6 months min) depending on the type and length of deployment. I could have used it for sure! I read some articles lately for a book I am writing in regards to this subject and it shocked me how many times they stated that they couldn't determine the direct cause of these problems. UH SERIOUSLY, hello you send someone into combat or teach a person to have bearing and not to feel emotion or express emotion what do you think will happen? Anyway, I realize that many will not see my point of view but I have been thinking of these things for a while and needed to share. I feel terrible for the forgotten and disgarded military members who are lost and feel empty for the things that they have done and have no way or don't know how to control because they are to scared or ashamed to ask for help.

Braun a Silver Slugger
For the second straight season, Ryan Braun will have some hardware to show for his efforts at the plate.
After batting .320 with 32 home runs and 114 RBIs, Braun became the first Brewer since Paul Molitor more than two decades ago to win a Silver Slugger Award in consecutive years. Since 1980, the awards have been given annually to the best offensive player at each position as selected by the Major League Baseball managers and coaches, and Braun was honored alongside Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp of the Dodgers as the top offensive outfielders in the National League.
The other NL Silver Sluggers were Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols, Phillies second baseman Chase Utley, Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez and Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano.
Braun is the third Brewer to take home the award in consecutive seasons. Molitor was the American League's top designated hitter in 1987 and 1988, and Cecil Cooper won the award as the AL first baseman in three straight seasons from 1980-82.
The specially designed Silver Slugger will be presented to each player by a representative of the Hillerich & Bradsby Co., makers of Louisville Slugger, in a ceremony early in the 2010 season. The trophy is three feet tall and bears the engraved name of the winner and his Silver Slugger teammates in his respective league.
Before 2005, the Brewers had been shut out in Silver Slugger balloting since 1990, but now they have a winner in four of the past five seasons. Prince Fielder, who was edged at first base for the second straight year by Pujols, won in 2007. Then-Brewers outfielder Carlos Lee was a Silver Slugger in 2005.
Braun's numbers were certainly deserving in 2009. With 203 hits, he became the third Brewer ever to lead his league in that category and the first since Molitor led the AL in 1991. Braun also became the eighth player in Major League history with at least 100 runs, 100 RBIs, 200 hits, 30 homers, 20 stolen bases and a .300 average in the same season.
The numbers keep on coming. Braun has 103 home runs in his first three Major League seasons, sixth-most in baseball history behind two active players — Pujols (114) and the Yankees' Mark Texeira (107) — and three Hall of Famers — Ralph Kiner (114), Eddie Matthews (112), Joe DiMaggio (107).

The Classical Studies Program at Villanova explores the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome, from the beginnings of Greek civilization to the fall of the Roman empire in all their richness, diversity and relevance. Our program is interdisciplinary, embracing the study of classical languages, literature, history, art and archaeology, philosophy and religion.
Our Undergraduate Program consists of a major and minor in Classical Studies in a variety of concentrations (Latin, Classical Languages, and Classical Civilization). Undergraduates who are not Classical Studies majors may also fulfill their core language requirement with Latin or ancient Greek, and a number of classical civilization courses may satisfy other core requirements (see Undergraduate Program page for more information on these courses).
Our Graduate Program offers an M.A. in Classical Studies (with tracks in Latin or Greek and Latin), as well as the opportunity to obtain a combination Five-Year B.A./M.A. in Classical Studies.
Since the fall 2013 semester, Classical Studies students have been tutoring students at Boys' Latin once a week. This program, directed by Prof. Andrew Scott, gives Villanova students the opportunity to put their classical education to use, places them in a position of responsibility as educators, and demonstrates the Augustinian ideal of service to others. Boys' Latin of Philadelphia is a college preparatory school located in West Philadelphia and offers a classically based education. For information on this project or if you would like to volunteer, please contact Prof. Andrew Scott.
In fall 2014, four graduate students in Classical Studies completed a Certificate in Digital Humanities, offered by the Graduate Studies division of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences in conjunction with Falvey Memorial Library. To become versed in technology and digital platforms for humanities scholarship, students learned valuable skills in: coding basics, audio editing, advanced WordPress, and GIS/Mapping.
On February 11, 2015, Dr. Gary D. Farney (Rutgers University - Newark) spoke on "The Excavation of 'Horace's Villa' in Vacone, Italy: The First Three Seasons." Three Villanova Classical Studies students have participated in the excavation field school. Recent participant and Classical Studies major Oliver Ayer comments: "To experience excavating a villa, spending your days in the field learning to dig, document, conserve, and actually contribute to an archaeological excavation provides a unique and invaluable experience to anyone interested in classical studies. As you delve deeper into the project, the classical world comes alive in a way that can only be experienced on site."
On February 16, 2015, Falvey Memorial Library hosted the launch of a Digital Humanities project in Classical Studies: Travels Through Greco-Roman Antiquity. Dr. Valentina DeNardis is working with her Greek and Roman archaeology classes to build a web exhibit which highlights classics-themed works in Falvey's Special Collections. Check back at the end of the spring 2015 semester for an update on this on-going project.
On April 17, 2015, Dr. Leah Kronenberg (Rutgers University – New Brunswick) will speak on Vergil. (Talk title TBA)

Comments about Daisy Rock Rock Candy Classic Left-Handed Electric Guitar:
Electrics are clean and sounds great run into a computer with closed headphones. Do not think of this as just a "Kids first guitar", but is a perfect guitar for our daughter, and will be for quite some time. The carved back and top realy fit her well. Thin neck and great size and weight. The silver flake has just enough flash to make it fun but not cheap looking. Smooth clear finish.
Pickups sound good. Tone, volume, selector switch and coil tap humbucker provide plenty of adjustability on the guitar and sounds great run into garageband on the mac.
The fit, finish and quality of this guitar far exceeded our expectations. Quality components are used thoughout. I'm really impressed. It tuned up great the first time.
This really is a good value, especially when you can catch a sale. You are getting a quality product. Not even a typical lefty mark-up to the price like on my Les Paul Deluxe. Gibson could learn something from Daisy Rock

Ok I have found a flight into Japan. I am staying with a buddy of mine that does not ski/snowboard so I am clueless about everything thing. I have done emense amount of research and had several questions for anyone. Is there away to go from train to the mountain like a shuttle service? If there is a shuttle or cab or however I get there how much do they generally cost? Also all of the resorts I have looked at there is no tree riding or off piste it seems at all. Is that the case or am I not looking at the right places? Any good cat skiing also? How much is the train or is there a week or two week pass by chance? I can convert to USD if you dont mind just giving the yen amount. Sorry for so many questions Thanks for any help at all

Tree riding is not encouraged at Japanese resorts but from what I understand it's not illegal to do with maybe the exception of one resort. Evidently going off of the groomed trails is just not thought of much by the Japanese skier/rider. I think that is also becoming less and less of a truth as more people from out West hit up their trees having a blast.
As far as backcountry goes, it is a scene that is in it's infancy but looks awesome. The new Sweetgrass flick coming out this fall was filmed in Japan. It looks like they got some sweet footy. I've spoken with those guys before and they seem friendly enough. Shoot them an email and see if they'll give you some hints as to where to go for some out of bounds and inbounds spots in Japan. Check out the trailer too. They definitely found the pow. Last edited by killclimbz; 08-18-2009 at 09:57 AM. |

Wow those japanese don't know what they're missing!, Tree riding is the best. The Ultimate Ride: Shaun White one of his few backcountry films where he was hitting up the backcountry in japan, THey had some pretty sick footage in it.

Um…it's very boring around the hugelkultur bed, so I'm working on other tasks. Middle of next month (our traditional end-of-frost period), I'll be planting the hell out of the bed. At the moment, it's got several peas, a couple of sweet peas, a peppermint*, an elderberry*, borage, and kale – all of which are gamely growing in the unseasonably hot & dry spring.
I reset the dry stone wall mini-terraces above the pond – I'm also gearing up to dig a swale & berm to help control our usual crazy storm runoff….of course, the weather is exceptionally strange this year, and I'm having to set the swale from memory of where the worst waterlogging actually occurs. After I redid the stone walls, I planted the lower terrace with borage, lupines, and kale. The upper terrace will get the claytonia & good king henry, I think, as the sun's not as fierce there at the edge of the shady border. I'm hoping they like it – I may plant them in the front yard instead, as it's much cooler (neither one loves heat much).
- The peppermint & elderberry are transplants from elsewhere in the yard – I don't mind peppermint running around a less-formal garden like this, and elderberries are just good. Love them.
The first photo is of the little terraces I cleaned up today – the second is the faithful rhubarb, my favorite dessert vegetable.
The other photos show a few of the impending arrivals for the bed – amaranth & a lone goji bush. I'm pondering taking a cutting from the goji to try and propagate a second, but I'm not sure whether it's worth it. I hear they get big and sprawl-y fairly quickly.
In other news, the rhubarb is going gangbusters & we will be eating some soon! :-)

Released: Dec 03rd, 2007
Running Time: 137
Director: Alex (I)
Companies: White Ghetto Films, Devil's Film
Jazzmine, Mike (I), Kitty Langdon, Jenny (I), Tony (I) (Hungarian), Ange Venus, Jack (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Tony and his pals appear to have copious time and money on their horny hands, so they cruise the streets in search of savory, professional quality Asian pussy.
First up is Ange Venus. She welcomes the boys into the bordello she works in and after seeing a wad of cash agrees to get double teamed first and paid later.
Kitty continues the theme as a new girl in the house. She's warmer and more amiable than the self-contained Venus, providing a nice balance of styles.
Things change a bit once Jazzmine gets picked up while supposedly meeting friends. The prostitute angle turns more into a promiscuous girl angle, with Jazzmine, then Jenny, and then Kaila-Mai agreeing to have sex — but not for money. Jazzmine seems motivated out of a search for novelty, Jenny from predatory horniness, and Kaila-Mai out of sympathy for a supposed birthday boy.
Retailing: Hot chicks for those who dream of cruising and sometimes paying for sex.
